摘要:
A friction tester is provided which can measure the friction provided by a surface at a slip speed independent to the speed of travel of the friction tester. The friction tester comprises a vehicle which can travel over a surface at a first speed, and a test element which is driven to a second speed, and a measuring device, wherein the second speed is independently controllable; test element is engaged with the surface; and the first and second speeds are different so that the test element slips over the surface with a slip speed.

An apparatus is provided that is operable as a road marking analyser, comprising a light source arranged to illuminate a road, a camera directed or arranged to view vertically downward in a direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of the road and arranged to capture an image of one or more road markings on the road and a processor arranged to output the captured image to a memory and/or process the image to determine a condition of the one or more road markings.
摘要:
An apparatus for measuring surface properties of a carriageway or road, comprising a platform arranged to move over the carriageway, the platform carrying a light source arranged to illuminate the carriageway, and a detector arranged to receive light returning from the carriageway, characterised in that the light source projects a line of light onto the surface, the line of light being parallel to the direction of travel, and data representing light returning from the line of light is captured and stored. The displacement of the vehicle between two successive measurements is estimated from the cross-correlation of the two successively measured profiles.
